Abstract

Fuzzy Causal Rule Bases (FCRb) are widely used and are the most important rule bases in Rule Based Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (RB-FCM). However, FCRb are subject to several restrictions that create difficulties in their creation and completion. This paper proposes a method to optimally complete FCRb using Fuzzy Boolean Net properties as qualitative universal approximators. Although the proposed approach focuses on FCRb, it can be generalized to any fuzzy rule base.
